Conditions Treated
The kidneys are responsible for helping remove waste and excess fluid from your body. They filter toxins out of your blood so the waste can leave your body in the form of urine. Many health conditions and disorders can lead to kidney disease, which happens when your kidneys are damaged or do not work properly.
Our team has specialized expertise in treating kidney disease that occurs along with hypertension, also called renal hypertension. Over time, high blood pressure damages the blood vessels that supply blood to your kidneys. When the kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged or weak, blood cannot flow as it should, and your kidneys aren’t able to filter toxins from your body. Untreated, kidney disease can lead to kidney failure.
We work together to treat all types of kidney diseases, including:
- Amyloidosis in the kidneys, which causes abnormal buildup of proteins in your tissues.
- Diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease), in which diabetes leads to high blood sugar levels that damage your kidneys and potentially cause hypertension.
- Glomerulonephritis, due to autoimmune disorders or other causes of inflammation of the kidneys
- Electrolyte disorders and electrolyte imbalances, an imbalance of minerals in your body that can result from kidney disease
- Kidney stones, which can cause pain and kidney damage if left untreated.
- Lupus nephritis, inflammation of your kidneys caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease
- Nephrotic syndrome, which can stem from autoimmune diseases or other causes, causing leakage of protein from your kidneys
- Polycystic kidney disorder, a genetic disorder that causes clusters of cysts to develop in your kidneys, leading to high blood pressure and kidney failure.
- Pyelonephritis, inflammation of your kidneys that results from a bacterial infection.
Kidney Disease Treatments
When you come to SS Kidney Care Centre and Madurai Kidney Centre, you receive comprehensive, customized kidney care and a treatment plan developed just for you. Treatment options vary depending on the type of kidney disease and other health conditions you have. They include:
Your care team will likely recommend diet and lifestyle changes to lower your risk of complications from kidney disease, especially if you also have high blood pressure. They may recommend:
- Eating a healthy diet and reducing the amount of salt or alcohol you consume
- Getting more exercise and physical activity
- Losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight
- Reducing stress levels
- Quitting smoking, if you smoke
Your doctor may recommend medications to treat or manage symptoms or other health problems that can occur along with kidney disease. These drugs can also slow or prevent further damage to your kidneys. You may need drugs to lower your blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, or help your kidneys get rid of extra waste. Talk to your doctor about the most appropriate medications for you.
If you have kidney failure, you may require dialysis to help your body get rid of waste. The type of dialysis and length of treatment depend on several factors, including your overall health and the extent of kidney disease.
Should you need a kidney transplant, our nephrology specialists lead the nation in kidney transplantation. We offer several types of kidney transplant procedures and use advanced technology, such as IVIG infusions, to help your body accept the new organ.
